Color-Coded Containers

To keep the foods in my freezer organized, I use color-coded lids on my plastic freezer containers. I put green covers on containers of vegetables, red covers on meat and protein foods, and yellow covers on anything sweet. I also have white covers I use for items that don’t fit in those categories. This makes it easy for me to find what I’m looking for. If you don’t have different colored lids for your containers, use colored plastic tape to mark the lids. —Faye Hogenson, Gresham, Oregon

Featured Recipes

I love to try new recipes. When I find one that was especially well liked, I make a copy, put it in a protective sleeve and place it in a binder. The binders contain my best recipes, and this sweet-tart, bright red slush is definitely in a binder.—Sharon Delaney-Chronis, South Milwaukee, Wisconsin
